AFL brings you the component of choice in passive optical networks - the PLC. AFL's PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) combines or splits optical power in optical fiber systems. Due to their compact size, high density, excellent optical characteristics, and low cost, PLCs are fast becoming the component of choice when designing passive optical networks (PON). Low insertion loss, high output uniformity, low return loss, and low polarization dependence enable AFL's PLCs to meet the requirements for passive optical components for optical telecommunication systems. AFL offers many splitting/combining configurations, allowing flexibility when designing an optical system while maintaining AFL's stringent quality standards.
